Part one..
1) gets its bootlaces tangled on the way onto the pitch, 0-2 behind even before the kick-off. When they do get on, a mass brawl breaks out, 4 red cards. The remaining 7 players pull a blinder and eliminate 2), who inexplicably faff around in their own 25 for the remaining 85 minutes.
3) Brightly coloured uniforms don’t help this team, who play out a drab draw with the irritatingly showly, but ineffective, 4).
1) advances to the semis.

Part two.. btw, how the hell am I going to get 4 semi finalists out of these playlists..!!??
1). Steady build up play, nothing showy but good possession.
2). The attempt to score from the kick-off with some monster riffs is admirable, the ball going in off the post. Continued long range shooting attempts reap dividends, though the strategy remains somewhat predictable.
3). Football is basically a game involving (per side) 11 players, a ball, and a grassy field. outdoors. Go and get some friends, sonny, and it wouldn’t help if you get out into the fresh air a bit more.
4). This team appears to be A LOT BIGGER than any of their opponents. And so it proves- brutal body checking, massive 40 yarders bludgeoned into the goal from all sides of the field.

In the end, 1) and 4) go head to head. 4) flattens 1). Based on the peculiar groupings, both make the semis.

Part three.
1) misses the bus to the stadium, having spent too long preparing the players’ hair and having their fingers manicured. Disqualified.
2) faces off against 3); 3 loses its keeper almost immediately (that Tss Tss Tss drum sound irritates him into giving away a red card penalty). It’s all downhill from there; 2, although not convincing, waltzes the semis.

“Not nearly enough Hawaian banjo music, J-pop or drug addled English eccentics for an acceptable playlist. Honestly, you would think punk never happened. This is the worst playlist since etc. etc. for another 5 paragraphs…

1: OK for a minute or two, then OFF (or is that just me?)
2: 11 (propulsive, riffy, nice rockout from 3.30 – surely he’ll like this one?)
3: OFF (not got a chance… or has it?)
4: 11 (promising title, some nice juddering bass, threatens to go a bit too Beta Band but rescued at the 3min mark)

1. 11. I know that voice, don’t I? Can’t place it.
2. OK … for a Carling Cup game line-up, maybe. Otherwise OFF.
3. OFF, and a three match ban.
4. OK. But I’m not as enthused as you guessed I would be.

1. OFF. Intriguing, but not intriguing enough.
2. 11. The sound of Barry Adamson getting a job as a cruise ship singer, then spending the entire season as a gigolo to rich blue rinses, while stealing their souls! Love it.
3. In a reflection of those neutral, or even omitted, ratings given to substitutes brought on too late in the game to have an influence, I’m not offering an opinion on this one. The fact is it’s MFF time, and I was already on my way out of The Spill Stadium when this one had it’s three minutes …
